Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a sizing composition for wet use chopped strand glass fibers, and more particularly, to a sizing composition that contains (1) a primary fatty amide lubricant that is condensed from a long chain fatty acid and a polyamine and (2) a secondary lubricant that is a polyamide or a polyvinyl amine in a ratio by dry solids greater than or equal to 5:1.
  • a gypsum board formed from a reinforcing fiber material sized with the sizing composition is also provided.
  • Wall boards formed of a gypsum core sandwiched between facing layers are commonly used in the construction industry as internal walls and ceilings for both residential and commercial buildings. Facing materials advantageously contribute flexibility, nail pull resistance, and impact strength to the materials forming the gypsum core.
  • the facing material can provide a fairly durable surface and/or other desirable properties (e.g ., a decorative surface) to the gypsum board.
  • the gypsum core typically contains gypsum, optionally some wet chopped glass fibers, water resistant chemicals, binders, accelerants, and low-density fillers.
  • gypsum boards by providing a continuous layer of a facing material, such as a fibrous veil, and depositing a gypsum slurry onto the bottom surface of the facing material. A second continuous layer of facing material is then applied to the top surface of the gypsum slurry. The sandwiched gypsum slurry is then sized for thickness and dried to harden the gypsum core and form a gypsum board. Next, the gypsum board may be cut to a predetermined length for end-use.
  • a facing material such as a fibrous veil
  • Glass fibers are commonly used in the production of gypsum wall boards to improve the tensile and tear strength of the products.
  • the fibers may be employed in many forms, including individual fibers, strands containing plural fibers, and rovings. These fiber products, in turn, may be used in discrete form and incorporated into a gypsum matrix or they may be assembled into woven or non-woven fabrics or mats and utilized as the facing material.
  • glass fibers may be formed by drawing molten glass into filaments through a bushing or orifice plate and applying an aqueous sizing composition containing lubricants, coupling agents, and film-forming binder resins to the filaments.
  • the sizing composition provides protection to the fibers from interfilament abrasion and promotes compatibility between the glass fibers and the matrix in which the glass fibers are to be used. After the sizing composition is applied, the wet fibers may be gathered into one or more strands, chopped, and collected as wet chopped fiber strands.
  • wet chopped fibers may then be deposited into a gypsum slurry to add mechanical strength to the formed gypsum board.
  • conventional glass fibers do not flow or disperse well in the gypsum slurry and, as a result, gypsum boards are formed that have an uneven distribution of glass fibers within the gypsum board. Such an uneven distribution of fibers can cause weakness and/or failure of the gypsum board.
  • conventionally sized glass fibers do not feed well in conventional feeding apparatuses, which, in turn, forces manufacturers to employ a high or increased feeding rate in order to achieve the minimum glass amount that is required for gypsum boards. Employing a high feed rate causes an unnecessarily high amount of glass fibers to be present in the final gypsum board.
  • a sizing composition for reinforcing fibers that includes a primary amide lubricant, a secondary lubricant, and at least one silane coupling agent.
  • the primary lubricant in the size composition is a fatty amide lubricant that is the condensation product of a saturated fatty acid having at least 16 carbon atoms and a polyamine.
  • the fatty acids to use to make the primary fatty amide lubricants are saturated fatty acids having a straight alkyl chain and a water solubility less than about 0.003 g/liter (in water), such as stearic acid.
  • the secondary lubricant may be an amide or a polyvinyl amine.
  • the primary lubricant acts both as a lubricant and as a cationic surfactant in the size composition when it is neutralized with a weak acid such as acetic acid to assist in dispersing the fibers in the gypsum slurry.
  • the secondary lubricant acts as a film forming agent in the fiberizing process to protect the glass fibers from interfilament abrasion.
  • Suitable polyamides for use as the secondary lubricant include, but are not limited to, condensation reaction products from fatty acids having 10 or fewer carbons atoms or diacids with polyamines.
  • the primary lubricant and the secondary lubricant are present in the size composition in a ratio of greater than or equal to 5:1.
  • the silane coupling agent is preferably an amino or diamino silane coupling agent.
  • Viscosity modifiers, pH adjusters, biocides, and coalescents such as glycols and glycol ethers may also be included in the sizing composition.
  • the reinforcing fiber material may be one or more strands of glass, particularly wet use chopped strand glass fibers, natural fibers, carbon fibers, or one or more synthetic polymers.
  • glass fibers are sized with the sizing composition and packaged as wet use chopped strand glass that is subsequently used to form a gypsum board.
  • the sizing composition provides improved flowability with a reduction in the amount of energy required to feed the fibers.
  • fibers sized with the inventive sizing composition have improved dispersion in the gypsum slurry.
  • fibers sized with the inventive sizing composition permits a lower feed rate while still achieving the minimum required glass content in the formed gypsum board.
  • the wet used chopped strand glass fibers are a low cost reinforcement that provides impact resistance, dimensional stability, and improved mechanical properties to the gypsum board.
  • the gypsum board is compatible with fastening systems such as nails, staples, and screws utilized in construction processes and the occurrence of cracking and other mechanical failures is reduced.
  • the sizing composition is free of polyvinyl alcohol.
  • the primary lubricant and the secondary lubricant are present in the size composition in a ratio by dry solids of greater than or equal to 5:1.
  • size composition present on the glass fibers permits the fibers to substantially evenly disperse in the gypsum slurry and in the formed gypsum board.

  • the fatty acids to use to make the primary fatty amide lubricants are saturated fatty acids with a straight alkyl chain having a water solubility less than about 0.003 g/liter in water, such as stearic acid.
  • the primary lubricant acts both as a lubricant and as a cationic surfactant in the size composition when it is neutralized with a weak acid (e.g ., acetic acid, citric acid, sulfuric acid, or phosphoric acid) to assist in dispersing the fibers in the gypsum slurry.
  • a weak acid e.g ., acetic acid, citric acid, sulfuric acid, or phosphoric acid
  • the polyamine is a low to high molecular weight polymer in which amine linkages or amine groups occur along the molecular chain.
  • Polyamines suitable for forming the primary fatty amide lubricant include tertiary amines having a low molecular weight, such as, for example, where the alkyl groups attached to the amine nitrogen atom have from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
  • the terms "low molecular weight” is meant to indicate a molecular weight from about 50 to about 200 and "high molecular weight” is meant to indicate a molecular weight in the range from about 400 to about 2000.
  • Preferred polyamines for use in the inventive sizing composition have a molecular weight from about 100-800.

  • a preferred sizing composition according to the present invention is set forth in Table 1.
  • the size composition is free of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).
  • PVA polyvinyl alcohol
  • the presence of polyvinyl alcohol in a size composition tends to reduce the storage capability of a product containing wet use chopped strand glass fibers. More specifically, the polyvinyl alcohol forms a less water-soluble film or crust on the WUCS fibers during the storage period. This crust causes an undesirable entanglement of the fiber bundles and reduces the dispersing quality of the fibers in a gypsum matrix or gypsum slurry.
  • the size composition may be made by adding the silane coupling agent(s) to deionized water in a container with agitation to hydrolyze the silane coupling agent(s). As described above, weak acids may be added to assist in hydrolyzing the silane coupling agent(s). After the hydrolyzation of the silane coupling agent(s), the primary lubricant, followed by the secondary lubricant, along with any desired additives, are added to form a mixture. If necessary, the pH of the mixture may be adjusted to a desired level. The size composition may be diluted with additional water to achieve a target mix solids.

  • the size composition is preferably applied to the fibers (e.g ., WUCS fibers) such that the size is present on the fibers in an amount from about 0.05 to about 0.3% by weight based on the total weight of the fibers, and even more preferably in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 0.2% by weight. This can be determined by the loss on ignition (LOI) of the WUCS fibers, which is the reduction in weight experienced by the fibers after heating them to a temperature sufficient to burn or pyrolyze the organic size from the fibers.
  • the size composition may be applied to fibers having a diameter of from about 10-23 microns (0.2-1.0 inches), with fibers of from about 14-18 microns (0.4-0.6 inches) in diameter being more preferred.

  • the gypsum in the slurry may be ⁇ -gypsum, ⁇ -gypsum, or a combination thereof, ⁇ -gypsum is more preferred due to its lower cost and increased ability to absorb water as compared to ⁇ -gypsum.
  • One advantage of gypsum-based materials in general is that they can be shaped, molded, and processed within a short period of time due to gypsum's naturally occurring rapid setting and hardening characteristics.
  • the gypsum provides a fire resistance property to the gypsum board.
  • Additional components may be added to the matrix composition to modify properties of the gypsum board.

  • the intermediate sandwiched gypsum composite product 50 is preferably initially supported by a conveyor 24 or other similar conveying apparatus. After sufficient green strength is obtained, which arises from the natural reactions of gypsum over time, the conveyor belt 24 ends and a series of rollers 52 conveys the intermediate sandwiched gypsum product 50 to a cutting apparatus 56 ( e.g ., a knife) where the intermediate gypsum product 50 is cut into individual coated gypsum boards 10.

Additionally, more consistent flow rates of the glass fibers within the gypsum slurry are achieved when the fibers are sized with the inventive sizing composition. Further, it has been determined that fibers sized with the inventive sizing composition have improved dispersion in the gypsum slurry.
